FAQs
How do top hung windows differ from other window types?
Top hung aluminium windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom. This design allows rain to run off naturally even when the window is slightly open, unlike bottom-hung or side-hung windows that can let water in during rainfall.
What sizes are available for top hung aluminium windows?
We can custom-manufacture top hung aluminium windows to suit your specific opening dimensions whilst maintaining structural integrity and smooth operation within design specifications.
Are top hung windows energy efficient?
Yes. Our aluminium top hung windows feature excellent energy efficiency properties. The tight seals and quality construction provide superior insulation, helping to maintain comfortable interior temperatures year-round whilst reducing energy costs.
How do dual friction stays improve durability?
Even tension across both friction stays distributes the window’s weight evenly, reducing stress on individual components. This balanced system improves long-term durability and ensures smooth, reliable operation over many years.
Can top hung windows be installed in any room?
Top hung windows are versatile and suitable for most rooms, particularly bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and offices. They are especially practical for upper-storey installations where weather protection whilst open is important.
What colours are available for aluminium top hung windows?
Our top hung windows are available in a range of popular powder-coated colours. Standard colours include White, Bronze, Charcoal, Black, and Silver. A full range of non-standard and custom colours including wood-look finishes are also available.
Are top hung windows secure?
Top hung windows feature robust aluminium construction and quality closing hardware. When closed and locked, they provide peace of mind. They are also designed to seamlessly accommodate burglar bars if needed. We also recommend fitting complimentary security fixtures for enhanced security in high-risk areas.
How much maintenance do top hung windows require?
Very little. Aluminium windows are naturally low maintenance. Simply wipe down frames periodically and keep hardware clean and lubricated. The powder-coated finish offers excellent durability for years of use.
What weatherproofing do top hung windows provide?
Top hung windows offer great weather and soundproofing. The outward-opening design naturally sheds rain, and when closed, quality seals prevent drafts, moisture ingress, and external noise from entering your space. Different glass options will offer different noise protection and insulation levels.
